New Mexico – Albuquerque Half Marathon

Well, this one was a little anti climatic.  I happened to have the day off work on the day of the Albuquerque 1/2 – a race I’ve run several times in the past and that ends about a mile from my house.  So, although it was nice to cross another state off, it was a less-than-exciting race.  Chris drove me to the start and cheered as we started and then headed home to run a bunch of errands (including a screening of his film at the Guild).  This course is quite pretty and nice and flat, snaking through the North Valley and ending at Alvarado Elementary School.  It was a cold and rainy morning, so I crossed the finish line and then just kept on going and walked straight home.  The kids were still hanging out in their pajamas when I got home.  As I walked through the door, they both asked where I had gone – funny.  Well, not many pictures.  Hopefully the next race is a little more exciting!
